I guess I not really implying that I think they aren't cool with each other. Maybe i'm just taking Sheed's little interview too seriously. I'm just not a fan of how it was handled publicly, the "yeah, yeah, this might be good or it might not," or the "what we had was now gone" from Prince. Sure its gone; our PG was traded, and its not going to be smooth at first.

That Rasheed quote was him being PC.

When Joe stood up with Iversons jersey during the press conference Rasheed was so hyped he had to let out a yell.

Wallace said the Pistons are excited by the addition of Iverson to the lineup.

"We know what type of player he is, we know he's a fierce competitor and that goes perfect with this team," Wallace said. "We're all about one thing, and that's making sure we play in June, and I think he still has that hunger in him to be playing in June."

"He has that same killer mentality," Wallace said. "I think it's going to be good to have him on the team, because that's pretty much what we're all about."

And though Iverson has recently steered clear of the sort of off-court controversy for which he was once infamous, he still seems to have the right attitude for an ornery Pistons squad that routinely leads the league in technical fouls.

"Some people might say that he's arrogant, this and that - they said the same damn things about me," said Wallace, who set the NBA record for technical fouls in a season at 41 in 2000-01. "But personally, I think that he doesn't really care. He just cares about what his teammates and family think about him."

According to a league source, the Celtics would be especially interested in bringing in the veteran power forward. The C’s initially attempted to sign McDyess in 2004. He instead chose to sign with the Pistons, who at the time were opening defense of a world championship.

Most observers expect McDyess to return to Detroit after the league’s mandatory 30-day waiting period. But McDyess, reportedly upset by the trade, can expect to hear from the Celtics if a buyout does indeed go through.

Why would Dice make a stink about leaving Detroit to the point of causing Denver to negotiate a buyout with him; and then turn around and instead of going back to Detroit, go to Boston? That sounds ridiculous to me.

I don't see that happening. Dyess is not a big KG fan at all. While most players would let it go, Dyess is very emotional.
